Runs Large Compared to Other Stride Rite Shoes

Runs Large Compared to Other Stride Rite Shoes
If you are used to buying stride rite shoes, I suggest you buy at least a size smaller than the size you normally buy. Prior to purchasing these sandals I read some reviews that said they were too large and others that said they were too small, so I took a chance and ordered my son’s size (2.5w) in regular stride rite shoes. The 2.5w were much too large so I decided to exchange them for the 1.5w (shown in the pictures). For an accurate comparison, I think it’s important to compare the sizes of the same brand of shoes (Stride Rite), so I took pictures of the Stride Rite sandals in comparison to the Stride Rite made2play Arron sneakers. The first picture is the size 1.5w sandals compared to the 1.5w stride rite made2play sneakers (the sandals are noticeably larger). The second picture is the 1.5w sandals with the 2.5w made2play and you can see they are about the same size. However, because my son does not wear socks with the sandals and there is less padding on them, the 1.5w is actually even too large, so I am going with the size 1M in sandals even though he usually wears a 2.5w in the made2play sneakers. Other than the size descrepncies these are very nice sandals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute design and well made. A little narrow, but they are a winner!

I Love these shoes! My son does too! They are so adorable for school with jeans or shorts and even for church with some cute chinos.
They are a great fit, they are well made and I can tell they are going to last all summer and even be able to be used by other kids after that. My son says they are so comfortable all day at school and he is actually excited when I say to get his shoes on. The sole is really thick and durable, but not too hard. I am really happy with these shoes.
The only downside is I feel like they are really narrow. I guess my son does have a little wider feet, so we had to exchange for the wider ones and as soon as we had those, he loves them. If your child has always had chubbier feet or are a little on the wide side, I would definitely order the wide ones. Would recommend for sure. =D

5.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable, Durable, Runs Large
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2018
Verified Purchase
These are classic, real leather durable and comfortable sandals. My son had s pair last summer that lasted throughout the year and he liked to wear them, saying that they were comfortable. We've bought another pair for this year. They're also pretty versatile in that they go with a lot of different outfits, both casual and dressier. They do run large--at least one size so try to account for that when you order. Otherwise, these are great real leather sandals that are worth the price since they're more comfortable and will last longer than cheap, synthetic versions.

Special Size Type: Little Kid (4-8 Years)Size: 13 Little KidColor: BrownVerified Purchase
I had originally bought these in a bigger size thinking he’d grow into and it wouldn’t be an issue. Well, I forgot that stride rite does run on the bigger size, so sizing up was like buying 2 sizes too big. I exchanged them for his normal size and they ARE WONDERFUL!
My son is obsessed with a pair of shoes similar to these, but they are worn out and look terrible.
These on the other hand, are fantastic quality!!! As expected from stride rite!

Here what these shoes have lived though:
Mayan Pyramids
Mexican Centoes
4 rain storms in the rainforest
And loads of mud!

They still look beautiful! And my son LOVES to wear them! He wore them for a total of 32,000 steps. Which equals about 11 miles. And they are showing no wear and tear!

So, in other words, get these shoes! And in your child’s regular size!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good sole but runs large
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2014

Our son is a size 8 1/2 M in stride rite sneakers. I ordered these in a size 9 figuring he would have a little room to grow in the summer (it is now the spring) They arrived and were humongous. I mean HUGE. I reordered them in both 8 and 8 1/2 and the 8 fit. They are nice quality leather and a soft cushioned rubber sole. My only other issue is the strap that goes behind the ankle is not adjustable. I wish it was because sometimes it allows the foot to go a little too far back. I would recommend but order it a half size smaller then your current size.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shoe is a true XW (might actually fit xxw too)
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2014

I'm so happy with this shoe. After trying another fisherman sandal from SR and being so disappointed in the width not being a true W (couldn't even get my child's foot into the toe box with the previous shoe as it was so narrow in the arch part), I was super hesitant to try another SR brand sandal.

This one rocks. It has tons of room, you can easily slide a super wide foot into the shoe and secure with a velcro strap that is long enough to fit across. Moms of toddlers with super wide feet (like mine) who need a taller shoe will rejoice with this sandal. My little dude has been so happy with his sandals, he brings them to me every day so he can go outside and play. They are flexible but tough.
I bought this shoe a half size bigger "just in case" but you don't need to. It seems to run a bit large so get actual size and you should do fine.

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2015

These shoes seem well-made, but they run really big! I ordered two pairs of size 8.5 Stride Rite sandals for my kids, who are both currently wearing a size 8 in sneakers. My daughter's pair fit well, but the supposedly-same-size Hudsen sandals looked at least 1/2 size larger and were way too big for either kid. I'm exchanging for a smaller size.

(Edited later, after exchanging for smaller size):
OK, this is getting ridiculous. Reducing stars to 3. I exchanged the size 8.5 for a 7.5 The size 7.5 was still ridiculously large on my son (who, again, wears a size 8 in other brands). I also ordered another Stride Rite shoe in Size 8 at the same time for him to try on - it was again too large, but it was considerably smaller than the Hudsen sandal in size 7.5! Maybe Stride Rite runs big in general, but the Hudsen is out of proportion even by within-brand standards. However, again, it seems very well-made and otherwise would be the perfect summer shoe for my son. I'm currently ordering a size 7 AND 6.5 for him to see if either will fit (thank you, Amazon, for free returns!).

We had to order a second pair since the original were waaaaaay too big! My son wears a 12-12.5 in tennis shoes so I ordered 12.5 in these sandals hoping for a little bit of extra room since they're sandals BUT they were GIANT!! I ordered an 11.5 on the 2nd pair and they fit great with plenty of extra room. It may not be till NEXT summer that he wears the 12.5. These are SUPER STURDY and playground proof which I love! I bought these to wear with dressier outfits but he asks to wear them to pre-k and since they hold up I have been letting him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best extra wide option out there
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2017
Verified Purchase
Great shoes. I've bought these two years in a row. They've both held up and look great. Very sturdy, and a somewhat closed toe keeps my kid from catching his toe and falling over. The soles are very thick, so watch your toes if you're wearing sandals! Look great for church, but they're also comfy enough for wearing and walking all day. His feet got a little red on the sides because he has very wide feet, but he didn't get blisters and the redness went away just a few minutes after taking them off. Definitely the best extra wide option for boys in this size range. I was worried how they would be when they got wet, but the water didn't bother them.
